Busy, busy, busy....

October has been a very busy month for us! In addition to us trying to stay caught up with the busyness of a new school year...

*Kyle's sister, Kimberly, got married October 21 in Kansas City.
*We had our annual fundraising banquet on October 23.
*I (Shalen) started my new job on October 1 and have been trying to build a client base.

It's been busy but it's also been really good! We were able to spend some time with Kyle's family the weekend of the wedding. A lot of his extended family that we had not seen since our wedding was there and we were able to just relax a little before the banquet on that next Monday evening. The banquet went really well also! God continues to bring people along side us who are encouraging and supportive in so many ways!

Finally....we have pictures to post! Starting from our recent weekend in Memphis to today's triathlon. Enjoy!

MEMPHIS, TN - September 2006

We went to the Family Life "A Weekend to Remember" marriage conference in Memphis in September. We had such a great and relaxing weekend.

A much needed getaway for both of us!


STONEBRIDGE RANCH TRIATHLON, McKinney TX October 1, 2006

Kyle participated in the Stonebridge Ranch Triathlon. Above are pictures of the lake swim (Kyle is out there somewhere!) and the transition area.

Kyle had a great race and had a great time. He loved it! There will probably be a lot more pics like these in the future!!

MONSTER TRIATHLON, Keller TX, October 15

Rebecca, Hayley and I did a relay triathlon. Rebecca was our swimmer, Hayley our biker and me our runner! This is the way that I prefer to do a triathlon! We got 1st place in the relay division! So what if we were the only relay group! Above is a before and after picture.

Kyle had another great race! Unfortunately I wasn't able to get many pictures of him this time around but he sure is smiling in this one!

Last but certainly not least....Dudley!

Look at those pearly whites!

So much to write about...so little time...

Well, apparently we are not very "on top" of the blogging part of our lives! So much has happened since our last post!

*Spending a month in Colorado on our very first Young Life assignment!
*Getting the 2006-2007 school year off to a great start!
*Shalen getting a job at a nearby gym!
*Kyle and a team of leaders kicking off a new club for one of the local high schools!
*Leadership retreat!
*A Weekend to Remember Conference in Memphis, TN!
*Kyle competing in a triathlon!!

All of that to say...we will post details and pictures soon! I am hoping to get Kyle on here to post also!!
